Hundreds Rally Outside Capitol to Demand DACA Solution (Dec. 6, 2017)

DACA Protest at Capitol

"Protect TPS (Temporary Protected Status)" reads the sign. Members of the Service Employee’s International Union who would storm the U.S. Capitol steps demanding action by lawmakers to pass bipartisan legislation that would provide protection for the "Dreamers," who fall under the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) program, in Washington D.C. on Dec. 6, 2017. TPS provides short-term protection from deportation for people who can't return home because of national disasters, civil unrest, or health crises. (photo by Jeff Malet)
